Learn the Field Phase with BadIntent’s Pokkén Tournament DX basics guide

Street Fighter players likely won’t need a guide to Pokkén Tournament DX‘s Duel Phase: its 2D footsie-centered action harkens back to Street Fighter IV (It even has Focus Attacks, in the shape of Pokkén’s Counter Attacks and “Counter Attack Dash Cancels”). But the 3D “Field Phase” will likely be completely unfamiliar, its fundamentals rooted in the arena fighter sub-genre.

Tournament pro BadIntent has been making some of the very best tech discoveries in Pokkén Tournament, so there’s few people more qualified to break down the meta of one of Pokkén’s most defining system mechanics. Covered here are Ranged Attacks, projectile priority, Homing Attacks, and some of the drawbacks of movelists within Field Phase.
